Tame Impala Perform "It is not Meant to be" 

Let's take a moment to appreciate the fact that Kevin is playing the bass and lead rythmns and sing at the SAME FREAKIN TIME. Thank you.

i love it at 1:32 when Jay plays the chord one bar late then plays a little melody to cover it up and they both look at each other thinking "fuck that was lucky it worked, carry on!"

If Kevin ain't impressed with that awesome little synth line you're playing at the beginning, Jay, you should come have a jam with me.

That major 7 at "She just gets bored" is phenomenal!

Jay's rhythm at the beginning is hilarious. They need to make a song out of that

this version is so pretty it's kinda sad hearing the lyrics this way

I swear, Kevin is so freaking talented.

holly hell engineer turn the keys down

1:32 LOLLLL Jay thought Kevin's gonna sing the 1st verse, and almost stopped playing the chords. Kevin looks back like "Good Job, keep playing lol"

Wow man bass and guitar at the same time cool

jay is so beautiful I'm dying

it's giving 8 bit video game energy. never knew a version like this existed. i am in love

"If Beach House wrote a Tame Impala song"

8 years later, this is still hypnotic 😍🤤

This song gives me chills; Kevin’s soft pure voice burns through the soul like an ethereal laser

Tame Impala makes music from Heaven like kicking it wit Jesus and some cool people by a river only the people who love people no drama

these dudes are so awesomely funny, pls come to my birthday party

this song is so pretty in this key oh my gosh

"This is going to make great behind the scenes footage" and they include it in the actual video haha.

This is like my life turned into a dope spaced out track

Kevin's vocals sound transcendent in this version. So relaxed and floaty

guys we found a way to transport to another dimension: listen to Tame Impala

This version of Its not meant to be makes me sad :(

pokemon gameboy music on acid

Tame Impala going full Beach House mode. This is incredible. I love this so much.

This is my favorite thing in the whole world

Funny thing is that first "rhythm" was fire

kevin wearing shoes....what

Kinda cool how they're bickering at the start and then once they play through such a calming and beautiful song they're friendly again at the end. THE POW'RRR OF MUSIC

Totally subjective, yes. I have been listening to and playing music since the 70s. I listen to everything from Mozart to Motorhead and enjoy each in different ways. The whole idea that music is somehow better because one must stay within the bounds of rules is without merit. Yes, much of popular music is simple, easy to play and yet it strikes a chord and, at times, lasts. It's been a while since a band like Tame Impala has surfaced. My gut is telling me they are here to stay.

Jay's rhythm at the beginning just put me into the entry of nirvana, pure happiness life, i love that. Please guys make a song with that intro 😍😍😍

finally he wears shoes

I love how they play so effortlessly

I wanted her, I wanted her But she doesn't like the life that I lead She doesn't like the life that I lead Doesn't like sand stuck on her feet Or sitting around smoking weed I must seem more like a friend in need And I boast that it is meant to be But in all honesty I don't have a hope in hell I'm happy just to watch her move And in all honesty I don't have a hope in hell I'm happy just to watch her move And she doesn't like the friends that I make Doesn't make friends for friendship's sake She just gets bored sitting by the lake Her soul won't surface and her heart won't ache And I boast that it is meant to be But in all honesty I don't have a hope in hell I'm happy just to watch her move And I thought they could cure his disease But in all honesty he didn't have a hope in hell Now we'll never see him move

Guitar is called a Casio DG20, for those who are curious.

This version sounds a little like Beach House haha.

Kevin's vocals are always just bliss

Song brings back a lot of memories.

Gumby and this both have my seal of approval! Taking off his jummer.. 🤣 such a tease. hes super hot and chill in person too!! 💜 meeting pond was one of the coolest times in my life so far! hard to beat

This is my favorite song of all time. I didn’t know this version even existed! 😱

they better look back at this and use that rhythm at the start

Great version...THANKS for sharing!

55 yrs old....am I allowed to like this band?

Kevin's voice sounds so fucking adorable especially at 3:15 he sounds like a little kid but he's still a good singer but it's so cute and n aiouvnueqfvbh dnvqne fvjne this is so great i

This song brings me the best memories back...

Loner and Inner Speaker, my two Tame Impala's most favourite album. In his psychedelic era.

So bittersweet.

The beginning of the video will always make me happy. (':

Kevin is playing the guitar and bass parts on that keytar. Talent right there folks.

Kev and his band are amazing! If I can’t sleep due to anxiety or problems, I tune them up and turn out. Love you guys stay strong and straight as you can. No more 27 club members!

In the intro, is he playing the bass line and guitar melody at the same time?

Seeing these in July at hammer smith in London get some MDMA and rock out to some inspirational music

This video makes me really happy and I'm not entirely sure why.

Love the part where he sings the guitar solo. Awesome.

In the beginning of the video Jay has no jumper on, then later he suddenly has and takes it off?

Mighty Boosh quote, brilliant.

does anyone know where i can find the tabs for this version/ chords and such?

I love you Jay❤ you are the same talented if not more than my love, Kev🤭😍💋❤️

Does anyone know the exact make and model of the keyboard Jay is playing? Just curious. Very cool to hear a different version of this song, I dig it. They are my most favorite band of all-time ever to infinity and beyond, haha.

thank you sir

This is so fucking good.... My god.

I love this rendition anybody know what that weird guitar thing is?

Kevin parker. A man for everyone's soul. 🙏

I love the way they play off each other at the start, that is probably as angry as Kevin gets( which is nothing haha)

Best Version

We need Tame Impala, the documentary asap.

The fact this was 11 years ago blows my mind dude

That was a pretty fucking awesome riff at the start on the keyboard :O
